Ukraine is preparing to resume ferry service with Georgia, which was interrupted by the Russian invasion. Is business interested in this and what kind of cargo can be transported via this route?
A ship with a capacity of over 1,100 TEU will be used on the route.
The feasibility study for the concession project is currently in the approval phase.
The ship came from China.
It is a feeder vessel.
According to the Deputy Minister of Development of Communities, Territories, and Infrastructure, Ukraine already has several potential shipowners.
Soon, Ukraine plans to export more grain and metallurgical products through the Ukrainian maritime corridor.
The company believes that this is a very long process, as the infrastructure is still at risk.
Even during the war, Ukrainian port assets remain attractive objects of investment. The experience of 2023 proves that success in choosing the investment format is the determining factor of efficiency.
This shows that the corridor can function without the participation of Russia.
The ships will sail to China, Egypt, and Spain after loading over 127,000 tons of Ukrainian agricultural products and iron ore.
The bulk carrier is transporting grain from the port of Chornomorsk.
Previously, only vessels that had been stuck in Ukrainian ports since the beginning of the Russian invasion used this route.
They intend to participate in the respective tenders at the end of the year.
Moller-Maersk confirmed significant interest in obtaining a concession to operate the container terminal.
After its commissioning, the two-sided pier’s ability to simultaneously handle different types of cargo on both sides was tested successfully.
The port’s terminal No. 1, container terminal, and terminal No. 5 are being readied for concession tenders.
The company was forced to suspend the operations of the plant and its port terminal in Odesa in February 2022.
